Helu was initially viewed as a potential starter in Washington, but he has fallen by the wayside just like Tim Hightower. Helu was reduced to a third-down role behind starter Alfred Morris, and his toe injury has ended his season quickly. Evan Royster and Grant will back up Morris.

We've been impressed with the Redskins running game thus far this season. Morris has had big holes to run through as Mike Shanahan's zone blocking scheme has taken hold in Washington. The addition of Robert Griffin III has also helped to distract defenses, something that happened in Carolina last year.
